The sky turned dark, but the lights of Yunjing City were still bright at night.

The bustling Ping'an Street Night Market, the Yanghua River Flower Workshop with singing and dancing, and the towering Hanging Pavilion Building, the streets are full of people coming and going, and the city never sleeps.

In the noisy flow of people, Qi Wanli wore a delicate white mask on his face and a white cloak, parallel to a woman who walked like smoke, it was Jiang Ruyan. She put on a makeup that was different from the last time they met, and visually modified her eyebrows, eyes, nose and face shape, making her look completely different, but the charm that seeped out of her bones did not diminish at all.

"I didn't expect that the dignified Sister Jiang would also be willing to come out in person to collect the intelligence points?" Qi Wanli held the mask and smiled: "Zuihuanlou is such a good business, don't you have to stare at it?"

Jiang Ruyan turned his wrist slightly, brought the cigarette between his fingers to his lips, took a puff lightly, and said: "Drunken Huanlou, someone is staring, if I still need to watch the business every day to do it, I can't open the building." ”

She raised the corner of her eyes, glanced at Qi Wanli, and said with a smile: "Moreover, what we are going to now is not an ordinary intelligence point, it is the largest, most important, and most secret intelligence point set up in the capital. ”

"Really, no wonder you're so concerned. ”

Qi Wanli smiled and said, "I didn't expect this intelligence point to be so important." ”

Jiang Ruyan looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm curious, how did you get this information?" Even if you are ostensibly a guest of the Yan family, but don't talk about that straw bag Yan Kai, I'm afraid that even the second child of their family may not have it, even if Yan Xuan wants to keep it, it will only be left to the most promising queen mother of their family, how can you get this thing?"

Of course, it was because Yan Xuan died, and it was impossible for the queen to come out to do this kind of work in person, so she could only pin her slim hopes on Yan Kai.

"I refuse to answer this question of yours. Qi Wanli said casually: "In business, the value of this information is probably more valuable than your entire Zuihuan Building." ”

"Dean Bai, I said that I have a ...... that all men can't refuse."

"I'm not interested in you, I refuse. ”

Jiang Ruyan snorted, twisted his waist, moved a little closer to Qi Wanli's body, and exhaled like a land: "I have seen countless men, and there are only three possible people who speak like you. The first is that they have never tasted a woman, the second is that they have tasted too many women, and the third is that they don't like women......"

"What, if I like women, do I have to like you?" Qi Wanli smiled dryly: "Don't I like pure models?"

It seems that since the last time they met, Jiang Ruyan has been very interested in him, and she always teases him from time to time, which makes him very embarrassed. He knew that this was a way for this woman to survive, and he didn't resent it, but he felt a little difficult to deal with.

When Jiang Ruyan heard this, he was not unhappy, but blinked, the light in his eyes instantly became clear and clear, and even his smile did not change, and his whole face revealed a taste of innocence, and Liwo smiled lightly: "Brother Xiaoyao, do you like your sister like this?"

", this woman is too terrible!" Qi Wanli was shocked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't even dare to look at her eyes subconsciously.

He really has no other ability to deal with women who are not interested, except for putting on a poker face.

"Brother Xiaoyao, why don't you dare to look into my eyes. Jiang Ruyan grinned like a little girl.

"Okay, okay, don't tease me, I'll throw in the towel. Qi Wanli sighed and raised his hand in surrender: "What you want to know, I really can't say it now, but in the future, when our cooperation deepens, I will tell you sooner or later, okay?"

"That's pretty much it. Jiang Ruyan's eyes blinked, and he changed back to his original temperament.

Qi Wanli secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that this woman is really not simple, no wonder she can mix all the way to the current status of the rivers and lakes.

The two turned left and right, walked for more than a quarter of an hour, and were still in the downtown area.

"This is it. Suddenly, Qi Wanli stopped and looked at an ordinary foundry shop on the side of the road, which was a small shop called "Special Casting", a very uncultured, very earthy, and not very individualized name.

The business of this shop is average, although the store is not small, but no one has walked inside for half a day, and the clerk at the door is lazily leaning on a bamboo recliner, half-squinting and shaking a fan.

"Here?" Jiang Ruyan was slightly surprised, and whispered: "Behind this shop is a street, there is no extra space at all, and it is impossible to build underground space, this place is too close to the Yanghua River, and the underground is full of dense urban drainage systems, and then there is an underground river, and the basement cannot be repaired at all." They don't have a building upstairs, so how can such a small shop support such a huge amount of intelligence gathering and analysis?"

"Could it be that this foundry shop and the shops around it are actually a nest? Otherwise, the intelligence materials flying from all over the continent alone are enough to crowd up such shops!"

Qi Wanli tilted his head slightly and glanced at her.

"Just standing at the door and taking a look, I immediately knew what was going on in this shop, and it was really intelligence. He thought secretly, and said: "My information will not be wrong, in the carefully selected intelligence network, this point is the gathering place of most of the intelligence. ”

"As for how they collect and analyze information in such a small shop, let's see?"

Jiang Ruyan nodded silently and followed Qi Wanli towards the shop.

"Yo, please come in, please come in, what do you want to see?weapons?armor?or spellcasting medium?" The clerk who was lying on the bamboo chair saw the two coming, a professional smile appeared on his face, and he quickly climbed down from the bamboo chair and greeted him courteously.

Qi Wanli made a gloomy face and said: "I want a bow made of the Dead Swamp Mantis Double Scythe, the bowstring must be the back tendon of the ghost snake, if you can, it is best to match it with your exclusive method of iron bamboo arrows, ten arrows, it is the best." ”

Hearing this long sentence, the clerk's body stiffened slightly, and Jiang Ruyan, who was half a body behind Qi Wanli, was also stunned.

It's a rather complicated code word.

Most of the code words are generally a few sentences of dialogue, in order to determine their respective needs, identities, and complete an exchange of information. However, it is rare to report several special words when you come up, unless you encounter some special circumstances, and you need to directly explain your needs before the exchange, omitting the complicated communication process.

The sentence that Qi Wanli said just now was something he figured out after studying the code dictionary that Yan Kai gave him, and it was not a fixed sentence.

What this means is that we have encountered a very critical situation, the situation is not optimistic, and we need to see your top person here, and the "ten arrows" are to express a most urgent attitude.

The clerk frowned and said, "It's not the season to produce iron bamboo. ”

"It has to be an iron bamboo arrow. Qi Wanli said coldly: "The original archers are gone, and you can't hunt without iron and bamboo arrows." ”

The clerk's face changed again, and he wanted to speak, but Jiang Ruyan had already preemptively said, "This bow, we used it ourselves." ”

At this time, the clerk really didn't dare to slack off, and he said promisedly: "I can't be the master of this matter, you wait." With that, he turned around and drilled back.

Just now, the clerk told Qi Wanli that the top person in charge is not someone who can see it if he wants to, so Qi Wanli said that the original online line of their intelligence network is gone, and if the top person in charge is not seen, the rest of the work will not be done.

At this time, Jiang Ruyan added a sentence, which means, we are your next upline.

"Is this a common code language of the Erudition Society, or is it the code language of the Yan family, which you stole to learn?" Qi Wanli asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ruyan smiled: "The carefully selected downline, of course, has its own code words, but the framework is still in the framework of the polymath, and as soon as Ruyan listens to it, he will learn it." ”

Qi Wanli secretly gave a thumbs up, and felt a little more confidence in his heart.

This kind of intelligence network is not something that can be done by a random person who can say a few words of code, otherwise Yan Kai would not have delayed it for so long and not finished it.

Anyone who works in such a secret post is very vigilant. The people in this outlet should be regarded as Yanxuan's henchmen, they have too many secrets, from how many private soldiers a certain prince secretly raised, to the secret affairs of a local official and concubine, I don't know how many people hate them to death, these people can't do anything about the Yan family, but they will hit them with their "dog legs".

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that in the past many years, there must have been countless people who wanted to quietly infiltrate the Yanxuan intelligence network, but no one may have been able to walk to the door of this shop.

In addition, Yan Xuan has been dead for a while, this most important intelligence analysis and collection point has lost the object of reporting and receiving instructions, and it has been vacant for a long time, and he must know that something happened to his upline, at this time, two unidentified guys came, and they opened their mouths and said that they were here to take over this outlet, and the first reaction of the people left behind here was unlikely to be to hold hands with them and look at each other with tears in their eyes.

Therefore, the real difficulty in taking over these intelligence networks lies in how to convince those key people that they are credible and "their own people".

This is not something that can convince the other party by any blood relationship or identity relationship, after all, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other and brothers to fall apart.

No matter how stupid Yan Kai is, Yan Zhiyun must have explained such a thing to him, so he never came to take over, because he was afraid that if he didn't do well, he would mess things up, so it would be better to drag it out.

Therefore, Qi Wanli did not rush to come by himself, but told Jiang Ruyan about this matter and asked her to give herself a little support, but she didn't expect Jiang Ruyan to come with him in person.

But it's okay to have a high-level assistant in the intelligence system of the Polymath Society by his side, and he wants to take over this outlet, and the success rate is naturally much higher.

At this moment, the gap between the front bunk and the back bunk was opened, and a tall man, sweating profusely, walked out of the honest man who looked like a casting master.

"Who said he was going to be a hunter?" he frowned.
